Alpine Inspiration for Shutter Ísland

Perhaps confusingly, Team Nine only has two members. They are a two-man team from Switzerland who love nothing more than creating travel videos designed to inspire people to get out and see the world. If their Iceland video, Shutter Ísland is anything to go by, it seems to be working…

Perhaps confusingly, Team Nine only has two members. They are a two-man team from Switzerland who love nothing more than creating travel videos designed to inspire people to get out and see the world. If their Iceland video, Shutter Ísland is anything to go by, it seems to be working.

Team Nine

There's nothing practical or informational about the video. That's really not the point. The combination of superb cinematography and carefully chosen music is supposed to inspire the heart, not the brain.

Team Nine; Iwan Bigler and Raphael Nussbaum; have no formal video training and make and edit their videos in their spare time, for free, and just for fun. Maybe that's why they're so good?

Beautiful Iceland

“Iceland had been on top of our travel destinations list for a few years and upon seeing the famous Inspired by Iceland video featuring the Emiliana Torrini soundtrack we finally decided to go and combine the trip with a similar video project,” Team Nine's Iwan Bigler explains. “Ever since we uploaded the final product for everyone to see, we have been receiving a lot of great feedback from people all over the world. Many people also ask us for trip advice and some even told us that our video inspired them to visit Iceland.”

Having visited Iceland and made the video, the country has now been ticked off their list. Despite this, Team Nine plan to return sometime in the not-too-distant future to make a sequel.
